Seattle's got Company Coming... in the Cellar!

Yep, the Eastern Conference found another hero last night. They stopped by Portland Oregon for a little pick me up, but it wasnt at Starbucks. Eddy Curry, the Knicks latest leading scorer, found he had 27 points coming to him, against the Blazers. He had even more success, including six dunks, 10 more career rebounds and oh yeah, 2 blocked shots came his way too. As youve guessed by now, the New York Knicks snapped a three-game losing streak on their West Coast swing with a dominant 99-81 victory over Portland on Wednesday night.

Curry wasnt real finesse about it in his post game remarks. "I'm so used to having a couple of guys on me and trying to put something in the air and get it to go in," then adding, "I'm not used to having such open lanes to the basket,''
Well.
At least he didnt say WIDE open! (right Pryz?)

Oh yeah too,
The team is in disarray, "Our offense looks bad, our defense looks bad, our body language looks bad right now," Blazers guard Brandon Roy said. "We're having too many moments when we're not scoring, not defending. They had like 20 dunks on us tonight,'' adding, We were just embarrassed tonight," Roy said. "We can't seem to find our effort.

"Oh yeah excuse me again, Hey Brandon, didnt you play against the Knicks Jamal Crawford the Seattle Wa native? Didnt he outscore you? Brandon struggled to get 14 pts shooting just 4-11. The Knicks meanwhile got 25 points from Jamal- when the game was over, Jamal had definitely outplayed his old friend Brandon Roy!

Puzzled?
Coach Nate thought maybe his tough practice the other day would create in his team, a little resentment, it did, but not towards the other team. The result?
This Blazer coach was so baffled after their pitiful game, he started his post-game team meeting with questions. "I asked them, 'What's wrong? What's going on?" he said. He was telling THEM to give him the answer.
Point guard Jarrett Jack stood up. "I spoke up, told them, 'Everybody's not playing," Jack said
He has a pretty savvy squad.

At least they were three weeks ago!
